An interesting ride that can be super fun. There are two different ways to get to the top. First via Rick's Roost or up the 27 switch backs on Rainbow Flank Trail. Rick's Roost has a shorter climb and better views, so lets do the directions from that side... (if you ride up 27 switch backs and continue on up you will see the entrance on your right hand side.)
Directions: from Rick's Roost
Ride up Rick's Roost and around the 3km mark you will hit another set of steep sections just before a clearing with a great view. Continue up then down a small descent to the top of Upper Binty's. Turn left about 200m. down the trail at the second opening.. look for the small metal marker on the tree to show the start of the trail. After a bit of a ride (10 mins) you will turn left and hit a small steep section then take a right. Watch out for Jaws on your left, it's a pretty hard trail that you should have armour for.
